Hah, no. She's just a normal---well, okay, not normal, as you saw, but she's just a regular person. No powers. My dad's normal, too. Me turning out to be an Esper was just dumb luck.

[Mikoto forces a laugh---she really can't imagine her mother strutting around in a lab coat, much less really getting into science. Her dad had equally as little to do with Espers---he was a businessman, and traveled abroad.

And she liked it that way. It made things easier to deal with. After a small pause, Mikoto looks up at the sky.

It's a full moon out. For a moment, she's a bit awestruck. She's never really gotten the chance to go stargazing. But, she had to focus. Her expression turns serious once more.]

But there are other people out there who are looking for ways to discover the perfect Esper. Whether it's by drugs, cloning, modifying people...you name it, they've probably tried it. I don't doubt someone's keeping an eye on me, and the people I know.

[A beat, and she looks at Baroona.]

You included. So...be careful, okay? I....

[She proceeds to look embarrassed, looking off to the side.]

...Wouldn't want you to get hurt because of stuff like that.
